I-49 designated in Missouri
Aug. 8, 2010: This BGS south of Joplin is one of the many signs and assemblies that had to be changed to include Interstate 49. Clinching the state just got another wrinkle for me. As of this minute, there’s another … Continue reading

Semi-official IA 330 extension date
I had been told that the signs for extending of IA 330 from US 65/IA 117 to I-80 would be installed by Monday. There were no changes to the south end Friday evening, so Monday seems like a good day … Continue reading
